It Sunday today, which means it’s time to tell you about the most interesting articles of the past seven days. Most of these posts deal with Apple’s iOS 9 and its bugs, new iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and the worldwide Mac sales. There are also several articles that tell us about the new releases of iOS 9.1 and OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan, however, if you are not a developer, this is not very important to you. What is important, though, is that soon we may see the jailbreak of iOS 8.4.1.

Apple’s iOS 9 is quite a glitchy update. In addition to the issues with 3D Touch, speakers, power and Touch ID on a wide number of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus units and the ‘Slide to Upgrade’ bug making compatible iPhones and iPads useless bricks that can be restored only in the DFU mode, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system is reported to be the reason for various problems with POP email accounts and opening attachments added to the emails. Even though Apple has already released two updates, namely, iOS 9.0.1 and iOS 9.0.2, the problem is still present and the number of users facing it continues to rise steadily from day to day.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has earlier today sent an email to employees to commemorate Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, who passed away four years ago.

As you know, both iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are equipped with 2GB of RAM. Even though the edition of an extra gigabyte of RAM seems to be quite inconspicuous while navigating through the menu of new phones, opening default apps and using basic features like calling, sending messages or reading emails, in fact this additional gigabyte of memory completely changes the way you browse in Safari. Literally.

A new video posted to YouTube by iDownloadBlog reporters shows us how much faster the iPhone 6s Plus opens recently visited tabs. Unlike the iPhone 6 Plus, which can boast of 1GB of RAM, the 6s Plus saves even the high-graphic websites so that the user can go back without waiting for the page to load from scratch once again.

Apple has finally released watchOS 2.0 to Apple Watch users worldwide. The update was expected to become available to public on September 16th, however, Apple found a major bug in the software that delayed the release.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has recently called Apple’s iPhone with a number of Microsoft apps on board an 'iPhone Pro'. During a meeting called the Salesforce Dreamforce conference, Satya Nadella demonstrated such apps as Skype, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Sway, Outlook and claimed the latter one was the best mail application currently available for users of all platforms. Microsoft CEO explained that he’s not the owner of the phone and that it is used just for demo purposes.

Apple has recently begun contacting some Apple TV customers via email in order to inform them about a faulty part inside of their set-top boxes. The guys from Cupertino offer a free replacement for all the faulty units owners. Apple representatives contacting people don’t specify what part is defective. Apart from that, the company hasn’t announced the problem publicly, so looks like only a small batch of Apple TV units is equipped with a faulty part. If you have recently purchased a new Apple TV, check your mailbox for the letter from Apple.

Apart from seeding iOS 9 Beta 4 to testers, the guys from Cupertino have recently made the fourth pre-release build of OS X 10.11 El Capitan available for registered members of the program for developers.

According to Apple, some services may be currently unavailable for some users.

According to Apple, this update improves the stability, compatibility and security of Mac computers.
